A house, a life. Discovering Giovanni Segantini in a spectacular photographic book on the artist's house in Maloja.<BR><BR>Maloja is a small Swiss alpine village at 1817 metres. Here stands Casa Segantini, built in 1886 and still owned by the family, which has preserved numerous period photographs, documents and original furnishings, including the famous Bugatti furniture. In front of the Segantini family chalet there is a small wooden round building, the so-called Atelier Segantini, built in 1898. Here, in fact, the artist never painted, preferring to paint en plein air, immersed in nature and in contact with his beloved mountains. It was rather his studio, in which he kept a valuable library. Designed by the artist himself, the 70-meter in diameter studio is a true-to-scale wooden model of the Engadin Pavilion, constructed for the 1900 Paris World Exhibition. It was designed to display a huge picture of the Bergell and Engadin countryside on its 220-meter long wall, but the work remained unfinished.

Explores the architectural transformation of South Jersey's barrier island from Victorian fishing town to summer resort, highlighting preservation efforts amidst urban decay.The Wildwoods are four boroughs on a South Jersey barrier island first settled in the late 1800s. Once known as Five Mile Beach, the wind-whipped forest and beaches transformed from fishing town to summer resort. Developers divided the ground into lots, hired architects to draw houses, and construction companies to build them. This all happened during an architectural transition period at the turn of the century, resulting in a diverse range of styles, from Victorian to Craftsman and Gothic to Colonial, many of which were as grand as those in Cape May. Although Wildwood's Victorian architecture was called noteworthy by architects, many homes were not appreciated or protected. Instead of being restored or renovated, they became run-down and were knocked down. But luckily, not all was lost. There are homeowners and developers who see potential in the Wildwoods' history and character. They accept the challenges of preservation, knowing the benefits it brings the community. These people are saving what makes the Wildwoods worth living in.
